Where prosperity ends, flowers never end

Chapter 190 Tempting

The two had just reunited and chatted for a while when they were surrounded by a large group of soldiers and horses on the edge of the cliff.

Sikong Qian had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities and he immediately opened the maze, and the entire valley was shrouded in fog again.

"It must be Shi Zhun who is chasing me. I have to run quickly. Just tell me you haven't seen me, okay?"

Ran Qianxi hurriedly took out the banknotes she had hidden and opened the door. Unexpectedly, when she ran to the backyard, a rain of arrows suddenly fell from the cliff! !

He ran back to the bamboo house in panic, and saw Si Kong Qian making the bed with a calm expression.

"Run, run, they look like they're going to take over this place!"

The rain of arrows stopped for a moment, and suddenly someone shouting was heard on the cliff.

"My Queen, please return to the palace."

Si Kongqian sneered and gave a thumbs up speechlessly.

"The young lady is very talented. Less than ten days after we last met, she has become the mother of the country."

Ran Qianxi's anxious smile had become a trademark.

"It's already this time, don't say anything angry."

Sikong Qian turned back angrily, and Ran Qianxi came closer again.

"Come with me, I'll take you to Dachang."

With the words "I'll take you away", Si Kongqian was instantly flattered.

"You want to take me away?"

"Yes, let's go. It will be too late if we don't leave now."

Si Kong Qian looked at her with a big smile, his eyes full of emotion, but he was determined not to leave.

"Thank you, but I can't leave."

"Why?"

"I promised my grandfather that I would make the Sikong family prosperous, and I also promised him that I would never leave Nanyue."

As they were pulling, Shi Zhun's voice suddenly came from the cliff.

"Ah Qian, aren't you going back to the palace?"

It was a simple question, but the tone was filled with intimidation, which was a sign of angering him.

"Someone, set fire."

Ran Qianxi did not respond. A fire crossbow was shot down directly from the cliff, and then Shi Zhun's voice was heard again.

"Isn't Ah Qian coming back yet?"

Ran Qianxi was extremely anxious. It was not right to speak, and it was even worse to keep silent. Shi Zhun became even more aggressive and ordered his men to shoot five more bullets.

"Ah Qian, I'll give you one more chance."

Ran Qianxi clasped the back of her hands anxiously, her eyes full of worry and regret, her lips bitten until they were bleeding.

Shi Zhun didn't hear the sound, so he raised his right hand and fired several crossbows at once, each of which was wrapped in oilcloth and burning with flames.

"Ah Qian, are you going to hide any longer?"

Shi Zhun's reminder had obviously reached the limit. If she didn't leave, the bamboo house in front of Sikong would be in danger.

Sikong Qian raised the corner of his mouth in disdain and walked out of the room calmly. He seemed to have done nothing, but a wailing sound came from the cliff!

"What did you do?"

"Why is the place where the Gu Saint lives so vulnerable?"

Thousands of poisonous insects were dancing wildly on the cliff, and soldiers and attendants fell one after another. Shi Zhun, Shi Wen and Shi Huan had already abandoned their horses and fell to the ground.

The scene of being devoured by thousands of Gu was in a terrible state. There was no place left to stand. The three of them looked towards the bottom of the cliff and flew down instantly!

Ran Qianxi was stunned, and immediately her eyes widened! !

"Oh my god, they can fly so high?"

Sikong Qian frowned and stood in front of Ran Qianxi. It was obvious that he also had martial arts skills.

Shi Zhun turned around slowly and became instantly angry when he saw this scene. He walked a few steps towards Si Kong Qian with a gloomy and dangerous tone.

"Do you know that the person behind you is my wife?"

Sikong Qian smiled lightly, and remained calm even though Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

"I don't know why I deserve to die."

Ran Qianxi was stunned and quickly covered his mouth!

"You're crazy, he's the Southern Moon King."

Si Kongqian glanced at her and pulled her hand away.

"Has the ceremony of crowning the queen been held?"

"No."

He smiled softly and said, "That's it. If the ceremony of conferring the title of Queen is to be carried out, we common people dare not be ignorant of it."

Shi Zhun glanced at Si Kongqian and ignored him. In his eyes, common people were not worth mentioning at all.

"Father, he is Si Kongqian, the Gu Master who found the wise doctor for me."

When he heard the surname Sikong, Shi Zhun's expression obviously changed.

Decades ago, when the late king was still a child, he was poisoned by the imperial concubine of the time. The old King Nanyue searched everywhere for medical treatment but could not find a cure. By chance, he was saved by Si Kong Jian.

Sikong Jian was indifferent to fame and fortune all his life, but the old King Nanyue insisted on letting him enter the officialdom. The two friends held different opinions and finally parted ways.

"Are you the descendant of Si Kong Jian?"

Si Kongqian bowed, and in the dangerous atmosphere, he was still refreshing.

"The grandson of Sikong Jian, Sikong comes to see His Majesty."

"I am clear about rewards and punishments. Since the Sikong family saved the late king's life, you just need to get out of the way of A Qian. I will forgive you for your previous offense."

Seeing that something was not right, Ran Qianxi couldn't beat them and didn't want to join in, so she took advantage of the gap when the two were chatting and ran out of the valley at full speed.

"I'm leaving now. See you later."

She was obviously greeting Si Kong Qian, and Shi Zhun immediately followed her. Her ethereal figure made people feel trance-like.

When he was about to catch up, Shunyan stood on Ran Qianxi's shoulder again, raised his antennae and summoned for a moment. The poisonous insects and bees in the valley became restless and built a poisonous wall for Ran Qianxi.

Shi Zhun tried his best to look over and immediately saw the handsome guy on her shoulder.

Shunyan understood human nature and knew that Ran Qianxi had no choice and did not want to hurt the soldiers, so he did not order the poisonous insects to spray venom. Knowing that she was reluctant to hurt the four people behind her, he only let the poisonous bees and insects block their way.

"You did a nice job. Tomorrow is the fifth day of the lunar year. I'll feed you more."

Shunyan lay motionless on her shoulder, quietly accompanying her and protecting her.

Ran Qianxi finally walked out of the woods all the way south. When she arrived in the city and bought a smoked chicken, she was blocked by Shi Zhun at the post station.

The soldiers lined up in neat rows, scaring the passers-by into scattering.

"Mom... are your legs so fast?"

Shi Zhun glanced at her and took a few steps towards her.

"Qian's walking is naturally not as good as a galloping horse."

Sensing Ran Qianxi's fear, Shunyan crawled out again, but was covered by her hand.

“Don’t call me brother if there are too many people.”

After he finished speaking, Shunyan actually crawled back obediently.

"Haha, well, you can see that I'm determined not to marry you, so why bother, right..."

"So, all these days of tenderness and affection were just your honey trap?"

"Haha, what honey trap? It sounds weird, but it's just my acting skills."

Shi Zhun grabbed Ran Qianxi's wrist, frightening her so much that she shrank back, then she crawled out again.

"You're lying to me? You've been lying to me?"

Ran Qianxi smiled and pulled his hand away.

"I just stabilized you temporarily. It's not a lie. I was willing to do those things with you."

After hearing that they were willing, he, who had just been gloomy, seemed to become expectant again.

"You have me in your heart, right?"

"I really don't want to marry you, let alone enter the palace."

At this time, Shi Zhun had already forgotten about his fate. He had long regarded her as his lover, and now he was eager for his lover to respond.

“I asked you if you have me in your heart?”

Ran Qianxi looked at him helplessly and blurted out without thinking.

"Have."

Shi Zhun smiled faintly, and the guards further surrounded Ran Qianxi.

"Hey? You were talking nicely but then you started fighting again?"

"Since you are here, please go back with me first. We can talk about the future later."

In the current situation, Ran Qianxi had no choice but to pretend to go back to the palace with him. After he took a few steps and the soldiers relaxed, he ran out of the encirclement!

"Chase!"

The soldiers received the order and rushed out in full force, and the long street was already filled with people.

"Help!"

She shouted in panic, but it seemed to have no effect because the one chasing her was the king here.
